TO FATTEN HOGS AND ENRICH
LAND SIMULTANEOUSLY.
BY e. u. ~GARDENHIRE.

Our wheat is hardly an average
crop, but the grain is Of fine quality.
The late rains have improved u
oats considerably, and the crop is not
a complete failure. Our hay crop is
quite short in consequence of drouth.
Corn is small but looks well, having
been well cultivated. The prospect
now is, that here we will produce
more than an average crop of this
cereal.
The time to fatten hogs will soon
be here, and l desire to impress on
farmers the importance of saving and
utilizing their manure. 1t is very
valuable. First, pillow deeply the
land you would thus enrich. The
loose earth will then absorb like a
sponge all the dropings of the hogs,
and hold it for plant food. Feed
them on the precise spot you desire to
manure, and when they are fattened
and taken off turn the land again, and
the object is accomplished.
Twenty hogs thus fattened on ten
acres of ordinary land, will enrich it
and double the yield, and then by
deep and thorough blowing after
wards, and a proper rotation of crops,
the writer thinks its fertility may be
perpetually maintained. The air
generally has much plant food.
When the land is plowed and pulver-
lied to a considerable depth, the air
passes through the loose mass of earth
and in its passage leaves the f%ertiliz-
ing matter adhering to the particles
of earth. When the rains fall, they
wash from the air much of this fertil-
izing matter. If there is a large mass
of loose earth the fertilizing matter is
carried down into the loose mass and
is held to maintain plant life and
growth. But if the surface is hard,
the water runs off and carries the fer.
tilizing matter into the streams and
it is lost to the farmer. This is the
reason why deep and thorough cult
walton tends to increase and perpetu.
ate the fertility of the soil.
If there is no water in the field you
would thus enrich, it will pay the
farmer well to make a cheap tank Out
of plank and haul water for the hogs
while fattening. Suppose ten acre'
of land now produces five barrels o
corn to the acre. Feed twenty hog
on it, as | have stated, and the mex
year you produce ten barrels of corr
per acre instead of five. With pre-
cisely the same labor you produce
ten dollars worth of corn per acre
more than you would have done i
you had not thus MANFRED il. If tina
is true you have accomplished much
The writer, from actual experiment
states that when you thus feed ont
hundred dollars worth of corr you
get fifty dollars worth of manure
To permit the rains and evaporation
to take it off, is blameable negligence
Save it as you would gold dust anC
enrich your farms. To save it cost
no hard labor, but only intelligen
attention to details, and no farme
need expect the highest thrift anC
the comfort of abundance withou
this attention.

Sparta State and Farm: \ comedy
called "Kissing in the Dark" was
played in Nashville last week. The
same play is performed in this town
every Sunday night. 1t has had a
longer run than any other play ON
record. The play contains only one
act and no scenes-unless the old
folks should Unexpectedly enter the
room during the performance.

In glancing over the "Memoirs of
Longfellow, " we find that he denies
ever having written the silly little
poem, "NLr. Finney's Turnip, ;"
which is going the rounds of the pa
pers as his first production. "The
Battle of Lovell's Pond written at
the age of thirteen, and published in
the Portland Gazette, is the first.

4 WELL.EARyED PROMOTION

President Cleveland's appointment of Mr.
T. Henry Lacombe to the office OF United
States Circuit Judge is a cOmmcndabe one
Such an addition 10 the Federal Judiciary
Will be approved by the bar as well as by the
public at large. Mr.. Lacombc will add
strength and dignity to the bench of this
circuit. He has shown himself to be well
fitted by temperament, character and legal
ability for this promotion. The only thing
that can DO said against it is that it takes
away from the city public officer whose duty
has been so well done as TO make his removal
loss to the public service.
Tho Office Of Counsel Of the Corporation,
which Mr. Lacombe has thus acceptably filled,
is of the highest Importance With careless.
slipsbod reckless or poorly equipped lawyer
at tho head Of the department., the harm that
could be done the city and the expense it
could be put to are incalculable. The advice
of this officer makes tho city responsible for
any act committed in accordance Herewith.
This is an appropriate time to say that Mr..
Lscombe has conducted his Office with high
regard for the citys interests and for his
own reputation. He has been economical.
prudent and successful in tho courts, and his
advancement has been fairly earned without
the aid of faction or hall.
1t has been long expected that Mr. Cleveland
would make this appointment. and Mayor
Hewitt Is already loaded down with recon-
mendations and petitions relative to Mr.. La
combes successor. If he appoints man less
strongly intrenchcd in the publc's confidence
or one less removed from the fractional SQUAD
blcs of his party, he will make mistake.
The people have learned the value Of Cor
poration Counsel who is independent Of the
halls and they do not care to go back to the
days when legal opinions were moulded first
with regard to politics and incidentally with
rcpam To law

TIE IFGISLATURE or 1887.

Mr.. Arnold, the chairman of the Assembly
Committee on Appropriations, stated yester-
day that in consequence OF the economical
course which had been pursued during the ses-
sion the State tax rate this year would be only
2.7O mills. This meaDs a sensible reduction of
taxation. since the rate OF last year was nearly
8 mills. Every intelligent person in our COM
monwealth can appreciate the significance OF
this simple statement 1t demonstrates that
the Republican majority have been faithful TO
the trust committed to them SO far as the
finances of New-YOrk are concerned. And
those who undertake to convince the masses
that a Legislature which has put down the
taxes has not made good general record will
have their labor for their pains. The manner
In which legislative body deals with the pub
lie money is commonly regarded as the supreme
test, not only of its ability, but of its character.
And it is a fact which requires no comment that
taxes have been highest when the Democrats
were in full control in this State, and have
reached their minimum under Republican adj
ministratOn.
But reduction of taxation, notable as it is, is
not the chief feature of the Republican record
in the session just ended. The passage of the
Crosby and the Vedder bills, in the face Of
solid Democratic minority aud of the enormous
outside pressure exerted by the rum power is
still more gratifying The success of these
measures at ests that the Republican party still
possesses that moral vigor which characterized
il in its earlier days, and which during the most
important era In the history Of the country
made it such power for good. We commend
the course of the majority on these two great
reform measures to the careful consideration
of those hasty generalizers who are fond of as
serting that the mission of the Republican
party is ended.
That the majority should have made some
mistakes was inevitable. No body of law

Governor Hill has no fixed objection to gain
ing little popularity now and then, and here
Is chance he ought not to miss Sign the bill
allowing bicycle riders to use the West drive in
the Park at all hours in the day. In other cities
wheelmen are not banished from the parks, as
they are here. In Paramount Park, Philadel-
phia. there are as many bicycles almost as
horses and neither man nor beast is frightened
thereby. l. is the same way in Washington.
Wheeimen are seen everywhere; but the horses
ignore them entirely. There is no reason why
the same state of things should not prevail
here. The Mayor and the Park Commissioners
are all honorable men, but if they would only
learn to ride a bicycle they would support
rather than oppose the bill now IN Mr.. Hills
hands The Governor cannot please the Cycling
clubs better than by signing the bill.
